If you're talking to one person in specific (singular "you"):
Hoy quiero presentarte a mi amiga María.
If you're talking to more than one person (plural "you"):
Hoy quiero presentarles a mi amiga María.
Though, it would be more natural to say something like...
Te/Les quiero presentar a mi amiga María.

Hi Emma,
in Spanish (from Spain) there are many options:
-If you're talking to one person (e.g. you are introducing María to Luca) = singular you = "te"
Hoy quiero presentarte a mi amiga María.
Hoy te quiero presentar a mi amiga María.
-If you're talking to one person in a formal way (e.g. you are introducing María to an old person) = singular-formal him= "le"
Hoy quiero presentarle a mi amiga María.
Hoy le quiero presentar a mi amiga María.
-If you're talking to more than one person (e.g. you are introducing María to Luca and Marco) = plural you = "os"
Hoy quiero presentaros a mi amiga María.
Hoy os quiero presentar a mi amiga María.
-If you're talking to more than one person in a formal way (e.g. you are introducing María to two old people) = plural-formal they = les
Hoy les quiero presentar a mi amiga María.
Hoy quiero presentarles a mi amiga María.
I hope it will be useful
Regards

You can translate the phrase literary and still make sense but it's very formal: "Hoy quiero introducirte a mi amiga Mary" - so you probably should use the verb "presentar" which is commonly used for this matter "Hoy (te) quiero presentar(te) a mi amiga Mary".
